Letting Go

Epilogue

The world was cold and frozen. Everything, everyone, was simply dormant frozen in ice and crystal. Anyone who would gaze upon the earth would think it was simply on pause… that everyone was stuck in the middle of everyday actions. Eating, drinking, and playing. It was simply odd. For a moment Pluto walked through the crowded but empty streets and gazed at the people of the Earth, knowing that soon they would be awake. She looked behind her gazing into the blue eyes of her beloved, glad that for once she had been selfish and taken him with her to the gates of time. They had spent 1000 years getting to know each other and also feeling guilty, when they would gaze at the Earth and see their friends and loved ones still trapped, waiting for when the crystal would finally feel that it was time for the world to wake up. They stopped at the battle ground seeing that something was different. That a different light surrounded the Senshi and the ones that they loved. Pluto turned this time with a smile.

"They will be waking soon." Pluto told her love.

"Do you think that Usagi has forgiven us?"

"I don't think that that was ever an option. She would never be upset for someone making the decision to be happy. Even if she was hurt in the process. But I have a feeling that this will work out just fine." She told him placing a comforting hand on his arm.

"I know, but we saw a future and now we don't know what it holds."

"So many doubts, love. This is not like you. Being protector of time I have seen so many different futures. It can change with just one thought. What you did was nothing. The future changed after Galaxia came. I no longer know the correct future. All will be all right. Trust me." Pluto told him trying to placate the man who was just a little nervous.

"I do trust you." he told her as her kissed her forehead. She turned her head as the crystal started to glow and smiled.

"Should we welcome them home?" She asked finally turning to see that they were starting to melt.

"No…" He smiled when ruby eyes shot to his blue eyes in shock. "Let's give them some time alone." He told her taking her hand and slowly walking away.

There was no way…this couldn't be possible. They were home. Denisia, Ekfuku, Davicor, looked around the somewhat familiar territory knowing that they were where they belonged.

"How?" Denisia asked unsure she looked to her twin that sat on the icy ground.

"I wonder how long we have been just sitting here…frozen." He stated as he finally came to rise by his sister.

"I have no idea…" She told him then grunted as her younger sister came running behind them, then jumping to put an arm around each of their necks.

"Are we where I think we are?" Ekfuku asked her purple eyes alight with pleasure, already knowing the truth.

"Yeah, we are home," Denisia stated grabbing her hand then turning quickly and taking her siblings in a tight group hug. The place that they had been looking for, for so long was now here and they could do nothing but look around in complete happiness. They had gotten here not by being evil, or by fighting the warriors slowly coming to around them…they had gotten here by making friends. Something that they had never been allowed to do before somehow became their saving grace.

For a moment Davicor almost laughed at his train of though, but then looked down to his sister and realized that even if they had not made it home he would have still been happy, because he discovered something even more important then home… he found family.

The crystal still wrapped in Sailor Moons hand started to glow. The ice around her started to melt as her body started to wake after 1000 years. She blinked her eyes, noticing that even while they had been encased in ice they were dry. Slowly one by one her memories started to return to her. Quickly she looked around noting that somehow between here and there, all the scouts had transformed to their 'normal' selves and they all looked to be safe. At the moment they all seemed to be glowing. She looked down to her hands realizing that she was slowly freeing them with the power from the crystal. Slowly feeling started to come back to her body. Even though wrapped in Ice she felt warm and safe. She looked up to see Seiya with his arms wrapped around her. She felt warm and protected, as she silently prayed, please be okay. Slowly the pair was freed enough to realize that they were weak. Together they fell to the ground, their bodies tired simply from being awake for the first time. She looked to the man that she knew she loved and placed a hand on his face. His skin was smooth and cold but her hand could already fell the warmth that his heart was pumping to the rest of his body.

"Seiya, wake up please?" His eyes started to flutter open. Still after all this time knowing when she was calling him, when she needed him. Slowly he opened his dark blue eyes to gaze at her lovingly. She was safe, he already knew but still needed to voice the question, if only to hear her musical voice.

"Usagi, are you all right?" She nodded as tears came to her eyes.

"I'm just fine Seiya…We are all okay," she said looking to the others her heart lightening with every image that surrounded them.

"I love you." Seiya told her, before slightly closing his eyes and relaxing his body slightly in her embrace. But her cry woke him quickly.

"NO! Seiya! I think I love you too." He smiled and reached a hand to touch her face.

"I'm fine…don't look at me like that. I finally have the love of my life; I'm not going to let her go now." He placed a hand behind the back of her head and pressed their lips together.

Ami felt the ice around her crack as she woke up from the slumber that the silver crystal had put them all in. For a moment she was dizzy and disoriented, unsure of what was going on. Her hand tingled as she looked to see Taiki still frozen as he smiled at her. Her memories came rushing back to her. She lifter her hand slowly, noting that her limbs felt very heavy. Looking down she realized that the lower half of her body was still encased in the protective ice. Ami assumed that as soon as she 'thawed' that she would fall to the ground. But while she could she ran her fingers over the smooth ice that covered his face. Under her finger the ice was turning to water, quickly running off of his face and down to water the ground below them which was slowly starting to return to normal. Soon she felt a crack in the ice and withdrew her hand as with a quick draw of breathe the ice around his face, neck and chest fell to the ground. He looked down at the young woman slightly surprised, and then smiled as he remembered what was going on. He reached out and pulled her close pulling her from the ice that held her lower body trapped and pulled her close mumbling something into her hair that sounded like 'I love you.' She smiled…content.

Rei started to blink then fell flat on her face. Obviously she hadn't been frozen in such comfortable positions as the other Senshi. She turned and laid on her back twisting around to see what was going on. She could barely lift her head but she could look around enough to realize that all her friends were safe. She looked over to see that Denisia, Ekfuku, and Davicor were all fine sitting on the ground just a few meters away. She smiled when she saw them, realizing that they seemed happy. Denisia met her gaze and smiled warmly taking her siblings hands in her own.

Rei closed her eyes, happiness flowed through her realizing that once again, they were all alive, all okay, and they would live to fight another day.

"Haruka?"

"Yes. Michiru?"

"We are alive," She said stating the obvious fact that they were once again okay.

"No, we are dead." She laughed looking at her blue haired lover.

"We are alive," she stated again looking up to her lover and placing gentle hands on Haruka's face. Warmth crept through both of them at the contact.

"It doesn't matter," Haruka stated taking a lock of her hair and weaving it between her fingers, "We are still together that is all that matters to me." The statement was said in al seriousness and Haruka leaned down capturing Michiru's lips in a tender kiss. She could swear that she made her lover cry.

Sailor Saturn looked around to realize that the world was finally starting to reawaken. We were frozen. She looked around her and using her glaive walked over to Mako-chan who was presently lowering herself to the ground. Jupiter looked up at the small soldier and smiled warmly.

"Is everyone okay?" She asked softly using her voice for the first time.

"Yes, Venus is starting to melt."

"Leave it to Minako to be the last one." Jupiter coughed for a moment the motioned for Saturn to join her.

Minako slowly blinked. She thought that they were all going to die. Her lips were tingling…they seemed to be the only part of her that was warm That is when she also realized that there was someone very close to her. She smiled when she remembered everything, wow she thought, I have been locked in a kiss for god-knows-how long. Yaten across from her also started to blink in surprise.

"Are we alive?" Yaten asked slightly confused.

"Yeah… I think so." She said turning around to look at the others. That was when she felt fingers poking her face.

"Did you feel that?" Minako looked at Yaten thinking that he had finally lost his mind. He slowly started to laugh.

"Yeah… I did," she finally answered to him, slowly starting to join him in laughter.

"Then we have nothing to worry about."

"You came back…so quickly." She tilted her head inspecting his eyes for any hint of emotion.

"I'm glad…what would I have done if I hadn't been frozen with you."

"I know that I would have never wanted to wake up without you here," she told him honestly.

"Lets not think about it."

"I love you." She told him leaning into him slightly.

"Me too." She laughed then leaned up to kiss him gently.

"Lets wake up the world," Usagi stated quietly, as she and the others transformed. She looked over quietly to see that Sailor Pluto and Tuxedo Kamen had joined them. She smiled at them noting that they were happy, but nervous. Silly people, they know me better than that.

She drew all their attention quietly. She raised her crystal and asked that it wake the world. In a flash of light they ice that was still surrounding the earth slowly started to dissolve. They watched as the world slowly turned from crystal to green. Slowly the sound of wind started to blow through the trees and the sound of birds filled the air as they too cried out their joy to be awaked with their loved ones. Slowly people started to move to the light and seeing a woman in a white gown with a moon on her forehead. Even as normal people they could sense her power and her purity. With her stood a group of warriors, some in skirts, some in leather, and one in a suit. It was these people that the world now recognized as it rulers…it was this group of people that had freed them and it was this group of people that represented freedom and peace. And from then on the world knew nothing but peace that was given to them by their eternal warriors.

So that is the end of the revision of Letting Go. I think that I like this version a lot better then the original, but I must say that while it is my first fic (it holds a special place in my heart for that reason alone) it is not my favorite, but I'm still proud of the story and the fact that I was brave enough to post it about 5 years ago. Well I hope that you guys liked it and will go on to read my other stories and as always let me know what you think.

Thanks for reading,
